How Do Healthcare Professionals Develop the Communication Process to Promote Patients' Health Literacy?

This study aimed to analyze the communication process of healthcare professionals for the promotion of health literacy. It is a qualitative study that utilized individual online interviews with 46 healthcare professionals working in Brazil. The thematic content analysis technique proposed by Bardin was employed, and Atlas Ti software assisted in the assessment and interpretation of the texts. Content categorization revealed 26 sub-themes, and the coding of these identified nine themes and three categories. The communication process in health literacy education was composed of a set of interdependent and interrelated variables termed emotions, professional preparedness, interprofessional collaboration, patient needs assessment, building rapport, family inclusion in the educational process, environmental aspects, strategies, and resources for teaching and learning. These data may support the analysis of health communication in healthcare services, the creation of data collection instruments, and the development of training programs to enhance skills within the context of the identified variables.

[Therapeutic factors in a group of health promotion for the elderly]. / Fatores terapêuticos identificados em um grupo de Promoção da Saúde de Idosos.

The aim of this study was to identify therapeutic factors presented in a group of health promotion for the elderly. This is a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Data were collected between December 2010 and April 2011 in focal groups that included participants and their coordinators. Results were submitted to content analysis and thematic approach. Findings showed convergence of answers among participants, who indicated resonance and complementarity in identification of the following therapeutic factors: cohesion, introduction of hope, socialization, information sharing, existential factors, altruism, interpersonal relationships, and universal learning. The identification of these factors indicates the therapeutic potential of focal groups, especially for attending to the needs of elderly people, keeping these patients healthy, and strengthening their feelings of love and life, and being part of a social group.

Professional Responsiveness to Health Literacy: A Scoping Review.

BACKGROUND: Difficulty in understanding and using health information can harm the patient and increase the cost of care provided. So, this study classified and mapped the characteristics and interventions that make health care professionals responsive to the patient's health literacy. METHODS: Medline (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycInfo, ERIC (ProQuest), Lilacs (BVS) and EMBASE (Elsevier) were searched using a combination of controlled descriptors. The selected studies needed to address the concept or main focus of the study among health care professionals in the care or academic environment. KEY RESULTS: After reviewing 34 articles, 14 definitions and 10 subcategories of responsiveness were identified, and a broad characterization of health professional responsiveness to health literacy was proposed. Professional responsiveness to health literacy was characterized as knowing the definition and implications of health literacy for the patient's well-being and being able to develop, adapt, implement, and evaluate health education strategies. Nineteen strategies were mapped for education to ensure professional responsiveness to health literacy, classified as (A) expository (n = 18; 94.7%), (B) interactive (n = 9; 47.4%), (C) practice with educational materials (n = 2; 10.5%), (D) practice with standardized patient or simulation (n = 8; 42.1%), and (E) practice with actual patients (n = 4; 21.1%). DISCUSSION: These characteristics and interventions provide a useful taxonomy for the development of curricula and professional education programs, and for the validation and use of measures to evaluate the health workforce. [HLRP: Health Literacy Research and Practice. 2022;6(2):e96-e103.] Plain Language Summary: We found 14 definitions and 10 categories of professional responsiveness to health literacy. Professional responsiveness to health literacy was characterized as knowing the definition and implications of health literacy for the patient's well-being and being able to develop, adapt, implement, and evaluate health education strategies. Nineteen strategies were mapped for education to ensure professional responsiveness to health literacy.

Competencies of health personnel for the practice of health literacy in Brazil: A Delphi consensus survey.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify a set of competencies of health personnel for the practice of health literacy in Brazil. METHODS: Scoping review and online interviews with healthcare practitioners, followed by three rounds of the modified e-Delphi method with health literacy specialists from November/2020 to March/2021. During the rounds, the items were revised, new items added for review, and their importance was rated on a five-point Likert scale in an online form. Those items that achieved a mean Likert rating of 4+ (rated important to very important) and ≥ 90.0% agreement among the experts were maintained in each round. RESULTS: The initial competencies list contained 30 items from the literature scoping review and online interview with 46 Brazilian healthcare practitioners. 25 experts (health personnel with publications on health literacy) were invited to participate in the e-Delphi rounds. Of the total of 56 items evaluated, 28 reached consensus among the experts. The Brazilian competencies list differed from other consensuses by the emphasis on professional commitment to the literacy in health, autonomy and social context of the patient. CONCLUSION: For the Brazilian context, 28 competencies are relevant to the practice of health literacy in health care. This study is an initial step to develop the HL competences of Brazilian health professionals and an update of the skills evidenced in previous international studies.

[Dimensions of student violence against the teacher]. / Dimensões da violência do aluno contra o professor.

Violence against teachers is a global concern and has a negative impact on the development of society. In this context, this study aimed to review definitions of violence against teachers to develop an integrated consensus and conceptual model. A scoping review of the literature was carried out to include articles that could answer the guiding question of the study: "What are the definitions and dimensions of student violence against teachers in teaching?" The studies included in the review, it was identified that violence against the teacher can be defined as a set of actions and situations caused by students in an insidious or chronic way in the workplace and/or through digital medium, mediated by the perception of violence, the copping mechanism of the teacher and the organizational management of the violence. The integrated model of violence against teachers comprises conceptual antecedents, such as previous experience with violence against the teacher, the cultural definition of violence and the perception of victimization. Violence against teachers is a multidimensional construct that results from the interaction with the student in the organizational and social context. The consequences of violence against the teacher include psychological, emotional, biological, professional and social harm.

A violência contra o professor é uma preocupação global e traz impacto negativo para o desenvolvimento da sociedade. Nesse contexto, o estudo objetivou revisar definições de violência contra o professor para desenvolver consenso integrado e modelo conceitual. Foi realizada uma revisão de escopo de literatura para incluir artigos que pudessem responder à pergunta norteadora da pesquisa: "Quais são as definições e as dimensões da violência do aluno contra o professor no ensino?" Nos estudos incluídos na revisão, identificou-se que a violência contra o professor pode ser definida como o conjunto de ações e situações provocadas por estudantes de forma insidiosa ou crônica no local de trabalho e/ou meio digital, mediadas por percepção de violência, mecanismo de enfrentamento do professor e gestão organizacional da violência. O modelo integrado de violência contra o professor compreende antecedentes conceituais, como a experiência anterior com violência contra o docente, definição cultural de violência e percepção de vitimização. A violência propriamente dita contra o professor é um construto multidimensional que resulta da interação com o estudante nos contextos organizacional e social. As consequências da violência contra o professor incluem danos psicológicos, emocionais, biológicos, profissionais e sociais.

Cognitive-behavioral program to control lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy: a randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: to assess the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral program to control lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. METHODS: a randomized clinical trial study, with 41 participants randomized into intervention (n=20) and control (n=21), for three months. The intervention group received the cognitive-behavioral program, while the control group received routine guidance from the service. Outcome variables were urinary incontinence intensity and lower urinary tract symptoms, assessed by the Pad-Test and Urinary Incontinence Scale of Radical Prostatectomy and King's Health Questionnaire. RESULTS: at the end of the study, the intervention group had a lower urinary incontinence intensity (p≤0.001), and there were less chances of presenting changes in urinary frequency (p≤0.001), urinary urgency (p≤0.001), nocturia (p=0.005), stress urinary incontinence (p≤0.001) and urge incontinence (p≤0.045). CONCLUSION: the cognitive-behavioral program was effective in reducing lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-3sstqg.

Tangency and multiple factors of violence against lecturer: nuances of the experience in pedagogical practices in health education.

OBJECTIVE: to identify factors that lead the teacher to experience violence in their pedagogical practice in health education. METHOD: research with a qualitative approach, based on the Grounded Theory, conducted with 11 professors of the nursing course of a public university in the central region of Brazil in 2020 and 2021. Online semi-structured interviews were analyzed partially in the light of the Constructivist Grounded Theory. RESULTS: factors that lead lecturer to experience violence are characterized by institutional culture, gender, professor's perception of violence, and the triggers that drive students to commit violence. Social status and inequalities lead to positions of domination and, consequently, create a fertile ground for violence. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: analyzing violence under Bourdieu's theory, it is clear that student violence towards lecturer and the reports contained in this study deserve pedagogical reflection. However, it is necessary to include these discussions as a background in teaching environments.

Risk classification in a pediatric service: evaluation of the structure, process, and outcome.

OBJECTIVES: to evaluate a pediatric risk evaluation and classification service in the aspects of structure, process, and outcome. METHODS: a cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study in which qualitative data complement the results. Data collection by non-participant observation, interview, and consultation of medical records. RESULTS: we observed two hundred and four visits. The service works in a makeshift room and without privacy. The nurses did not use various materials/equipment available for evaluation, rarely performed a physical examination, used the interview most of the time, and did not consult the protocol. Parents/companions received no information, and medical records showed incomplete records. Nurses classified 69.1% of the children as non-emergency. The most frequent outcome of the visits was discharge. CONCLUSIONS: the service showed weaknesses in the physical structure, in the risk classification process, and the outcomes, but it presents a good resolution in the assistance. We recommend a revision in the protocol used and sensitize nurses about the work process and communication with parents/companions.

Quality of life of master's and doctoral students in health.

OBJECTIVES: to assess the quality of life of master's and doctoral students in health. METHODS: this is a cross-sectional study carried out with 503 master's and doctoral students from the Brazilian Center-West, using the WHOQOL-BREF to analyze their quality of life. Analysis included Cronbach's alpha coefficient, confirmatory factor analysis and bivariate and multivariate analyzes. RESULTS: older age and having a child were associated with higher average quality of life scores, while diagnosis of anxiety/depression, difficulty in managing academic and personal activities and thinking about dropping out of course were associated with lower average scores in quality of life domains (p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: master's and doctoral students have reduced quality of life during the entire training period, mainly in psychological and physical health. The management of academic activities and dropping out of course are the main variables associated with decreased students' quality of life.

[Support group as embracement strategy for relatives of patients in intensive care unit]. / Grupo de suporte como estratégia para acolhimento de familiares de pacientes em unidade de terapia intensiva.

Admissions to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) generate needs among relatives, which sometimes do not receive appropriate care. This study aimed at describing a support group (SG) that embraces the relatives of patients admitted to ICU and to evaluate its effectiveness in meeting their needs of information and emotional support. This descriptive study was performed in 2006 in a Hospital of Goiânia/GO, by means sessions of the Support Group for Families (SGF). The sessions were recorded and registered in a field-diary for further analysis of the group process. In addition, individual interviews were performed to evaluate if the needs for information and support were met. The SGF permitted to see to the needs of families, helping them cope with the hospitalization of their relative in the ICU. In conclusion, SGF helps to promote humanized care practice and to overcome care that is historically focused on patient and disease. Nurses should consider reorganizing their practice and the possibility of including the SGF as a strategy to meet the needs of the families.

Practices and challenges on coordinating the Brazilian Unified Health System.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the obstacles and challenges faced by managers and coordination professionals in their practices in municipal coordinating centers. METHODS: An exploratory descriptive study with a qualitative focus, applied in 40 managers and coordination professionals, from September 2017 to November 2018, with semi-structured interviews, resulting in two categories of analysis: limiting factors and factors that facilitate the management and operationalization of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) coordinating sector. RESULTS: Analyzing the statements, we found evidence of the following limiting factors: failure in the criteria of referral, unavailability of beds, high demand, systemic difficulties in relation to the coordinating system, procedures of difficult scheduling and execution, increased repressed demand for elective procedures and difficulties in the flow of information between primary care and coordination. In the category of facilitating factors, the most significant possibilities were: expansion of the capability to know the user's reality, improvement in primary care and increase in health financial resources, health training and education and restructuring, in addition to reorganizing internal coordinating procedures. CONCLUSION: The limiting factors of coordination show the need to promote actions that offer all SUS users full access to health services.

Factors Associated with Marital Satisfaction and Quality of Life in Family Caregivers of Patients with Mental Disorders.

(1) Background: The aim of this research was to analyze factors associated with quality of life (QoL) and marital satisfaction in married family caregivers of patients with mental disorders. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in all community mental health services in Goiania municipality, Brazil, in 2016-2017. Married family caregivers of patients with severe and persistent mental disorders were recruited and their QoL and marital satisfaction was assessed by using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) and Marital Satisfaction Scale. Multiple linear regressions were performed to identify factors associated with QoL and marital satisfaction. (3) Results: For 163 family caregivers, the psychological and environmental QoL domains presented the best and the worst scores, respectively. Factors independently associated with better QoL for caregivers were male caregiver, the younger age of a caregiver, >8 years of schooling, ≥5 years as a caregiver who performed physical activities, caregiver without chronic disease, and no patient's crisis in the last 30 days. Factors independently associated with marital satisfaction of the caregiver were male caregiver, caregiver with >8 years of schooling, caregiver who received support by relatives to care for the patient, caregiver who performed physical activities, no patient's crisis in the last 30 days, and patient hospitalization in the last six months; (4) Conclusions: The main predictor for marital satisfaction was support by relatives, and for QoL it was no patient's crisis in the last 30 days.

RESUMEN Objetivo: identificar los factores que hacen que el profesor experimente violencia en la práctica pedagógica en salud. Método: es una investigación de enfoque cualitativo realizada de 2020 a 2021 entre 11 docentes del curso de Enfermería de una universidad pública de la región central de Brasil, mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas en línea que fueron analizadas parcialmente a la luz de la Teoría Fundamentada en Datos Constructivista. Resultados: Los factores que llevan a los profesores a sufrir violencia están caracterizados por la cultura institucional, el género, la percepción de la violencia por parte de los profesores y los desencadenantes que incitan a los alumnos a practicar tal violencia. El origen social convertido en desigualdades desencadena posiciones de dominación y, en consecuencia, se constituye en un terreno fértil para la violencia. Consideraciones finales: Al analizar la violencia bajo los fundamentos de Pierre Bourdieu, es posible percibir que la violencia de los alumnos contra los profesores merece una reflexión desde el punto de vista pedagógico sobre los informes contenidos en las entrevistas. Sin embargo, es necesario insertar estos debates en las diferentes etapas de la enseñanza.

RESUMO Objetivo: identificar fatores que levam o professor a experienciar violência na prática pedagógica em saúde. Método: pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa ancorada no referencial da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados com 11 docentes do curso de Enfermagem de uma universidade pública da região central do Brasil em 2020 e 2021. Entrevistas semiestruturadas online foram analisadas parcialmente à luz da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados Construtivista. Resultados: fatores que levam os docentes a experienciar a violência são caracterizados por cultura institucional, gênero, percepção de violência pelo docente e gatilhos que ensejam os estudantes a praticarem violência. Origem social convertida em desigualdades desencadeia posições de dominação e, consequentemente, constitui-se em terreno fértil para a violência. Considerações finais: analisando a violência sob os fundamentos de Pierre Bourdieu, percebe-se que a violência de alunos contra professores merece pedagogicamente reflexões sobre os relatos contidos nas entrevistas. Contudo, faz-se necessário perpassar tais discussões como pano de fundo nos palcos de ensino.

Tecnologia de informação e comunicação no ensino de enfermagem / Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en la enseñanza de enfermería / Information and communication technology in nursing education

Resumo Objetivo Analisar a utilização de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) no processo de ensino e aprendizado por docentes de enfermagem. Métodos Estudo qualitativo com abordagem na Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados Straussiana, realizado com professores enfermeiros em faculdades de enfermagem públicas e privadas do Centro-Oeste brasileiro. Para análise dos dados realizou-se codificação aberta - identificação de códigos; codificação axial - determinar as subcategorias e categorias; codificação seletiva - para constituir uma categoria central que representasse o conjunto de dados analisados. Resultados A codificação aberta realizada com a resposta dos 22 professores de enfermagem, identificou os códigos: aprendizagem, clínicas, associação, educação permanente, didática, WhatsApp, Facebook e Youtube. A codificação axial resultou em categorias (fragilidade da formação docente; utilização de mídias sociais como procedimento de ensino) e subcategorias (conhecimento; qualificação permanente; ferramentas) que representam o fenômeno estudado. A codificação seletiva refinou todas as categorias e subcategorias emergindo a categoria central nominada "O desafio de envolver o aluno no processo de ensino aprendizagem e a distância entre gerações professor-aluno". Conclusão Foi possível identificar o uso das TIC por meio das redes sociais (YouTube; Facebook e WhatsApp) como estratégias tecnológicas positivas no ensino de ensino aprendizado da enfermagem. No entanto, sua implementação ainda precisa transpor desafios relacionados com prática pedagógica, condições de acesso dos estudantes à tecnologia e conflito de gerações. Essas dificuldades apontam para a necessidade de discutir a formação do enfermeiro educador e a organização acadêmica em consonância com o perfil discente contemporâneo, cada vez mais conectado às tecnologias.

Resumen Objetivo Analizar la utilización de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje por parte de docentes de enfermería. Métodos Estudio cualitativo con enfoque en la teoría fundamentada en los datos de Strauss, realizado con profesores enfermeros en facultades de enfermería públicas y privadas de la región Centro-Oeste de Brasil. Para analizar los datos se realizó codificación abierta (identificación de códigos); codificación axial (determinar las subcategorías y categorías); codificación selectiva (para elaborar una categoría central que representara el conjunto de datos analizados). Resultados La codificación abierta realizada con la respuesta de los 22 profesores de enfermería identificó los códigos: aprendizaje, clínicas, asociación, educación permanente, didáctica, WhatsApp, Facebook y YouTube. La codificación axial dio como resultado categorías (fragilidad de la formación docente, utilización de medios de comunicación sociales como procedimiento de enseñanza) y subcategorías (conocimiento, cualificación permanente, herramientas) que representan el fenómeno estudiado. La codificación selectiva refinó todas las categorías y subcategorías y surgió la categoría central denominada "El desafío de involucrar al alumno en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y la distancia entre generaciones profesor-alumno". Conclusión Fue posible identificar el uso de las TIC por medio de las redes sociales (YouTube, Facebook y WhatsApp) como estrategias tecnológicas positivas en la enseñanza de la enseñanza-aprendizaje de enfermería. Sin embargo, para implementarse, aún es necesario superar desafíos relacionados con la práctica pedagógica, las condiciones de acceso de los estudiantes a la tecnología y el conflicto generacional. Estas dificultades señalan la necesidad de debatir sobre la formación del enfermero educador y la organización académica de acuerdo con el perfil actual de los estudiantes, cada vez más conectados a las tecnologías.

Abstract Objective To analyze the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by nursing professors in the teaching and learning process. Method Qualitative study with an approach based on the Straussian Grounded Theory, conducted with nursing professors at public and private nursing schools in the Mid-west Region of Brazil. For data analysis, the steps were open coding - identification of codes; axial coding - determining subcategories and categories; selective coding - identifying a central category that represented the set of data analyzed. Results The open coding carried out with the answers from the 22 nursing professors, identified the codes: learning, clinic, association, continuing education, didactic, WhatsApp, Facebook and Youtube. The axial coding resulted in categories (fragility of lecturer training; use of social networks as a teaching method) and subcategories (knowledge; continuing qualification; tools) which represent the studied phenomenon. The selected coding refined all categories and subcategories, giving rise to the central category called "The challenge of involving the student in the teaching-learning process and the generation gap between lecturer and students". Conclusion It was possible to identify the use of ICTs through social networks (YouTube; Facebook and WhatsApp) as positive technological teaching strategies in nursing learning. However, for their implementation, it is necessary to overcome challenges related to pedagogical practice, students' access to technology and generational conflicts. These difficulties point to the need to discuss the education of the nurse lecturer and an academic organization aligned with the contemporary profile of the students, who are increasingly connected to technologies.
